...by George Orwell is about an animal uprising, led by pigs, which ends in abolishing the cruel farmer Mr. Jones. The animals rule each other with the principle that all animals are created equal. However, as the book progresses, the clever pigs slowly take control over everyone in order to gain more power. The pigs are able to change the past and future to their advantage by altering history and manipulating the memories of the other animals on the farm. The pigs change the memories of illiterate animals by rewriting historical documents. In the middle of the night, the animals find a pig named Squealer in the barn with “a lantern, a paint-brush, and an overturned pot of white paint.” (68) Later, they notice that one of their seven commandments reads differently than they remember, becoming oddly specific and giving more power to the pigs. Since the other animals have bad memories, they accept the change without question believe that the rule has always been there. The pigs have altered perceptions of the past by changing documents in the present. They hold such...

...the pigs betrayed it. The relationship of the pigs and the other animals change throughout the essay. In the beginning of the essay, the pigs helped and supported the other animals. For example, the pigs got all the other animals into the idea of rebellion after Old Major dies. This represents that the pigs care about the other animals because if they succeed, they will have a better life. It also shows how the other animals are someone the pigs can trust. Another example is that the pigs taught the other animals how to read and write. This represents that the pigs are helping them become smarter. It symbolizes that the pigs want them to be the best then can. As you can see, the pigs helped and assisted the other animals in the beginning. In the middle of the essay, the pigs started to take advantage and not support the animals. For instance, the pigs didn’t help the other animals when they were executed by Napoleon, and instead believed him. It demonstrates that they don’t know the animals well enough to see that they wouldn’t betray other animals or Animal Farm. It also displays their betrayal; they ignored the 6th Commandment: No animals shall kill any other animal. Another example is that the barley the other animals grew was reserved for the pigs. It signifies that they were going against the animals because one of the commandments was that all animals are equal, but they’re the only ones that have this special privilege. It represents how the pigs don’t care about the...

... He saw a boy walking with a horse. Orwell thought if animals could talk what would they think about human beings? He also thought that humans have all the power and treat animals badly. If animals had power and could talk what would they do? ‘Animal Farm’ is an interesting story. In the novel the animals can talk. ‘Animal Farm’ is a metaphor1 for Russia from 1917 to 1991. During this time, Russia was called the Soviet Union or the USSR. From 1917 to 1991 Communism existed in Russia (the Soviet Union). This means everyone is equal. There are no rich people and there are no poor people. However, there were many problems in the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1991. ‘Animal Farm’ is about these problems. 1 A metaphor is when we use one thing to describe something else. 2 Chapter 1 It is evening. Mr Jones is a farmer. He lives at Manor Farm. Mr Jones is not a nice man. Mr Jones is very cruel to his animals. When he falls asleep all the animals at Manor Farm have a meeting. Major is an old pig. All the animals like him. He is intelligent. Major wants to tell all the animals about a dream he had. All the animals are quiet. They want to listen to Major.

...Exploitation in Exchange for Power Paulo Coelho once said “If you want to control someone, all you have to do is make them feel afraid.” George Orwell’s Animal Farm shows that supreme power is obtained by both fear and intimidation. Fear and intimidation can begin to control someone's life. The pigs are in their position of power through using the tactic of instilling fear and intimidation into the animals within the farm. The animals are easily taken control of, because of the fear and intimidation they feel. The pigs are using the other animals fear and intimidation to their advantage, and running the farm in their own unjust way. The pigs are in control of the farm because of the fear and intimidation they make the animals experience....

...true? What does the novel reveal about “real enemies”? Answer: No, man is not the only enemy. In this novel pigs were also the enemy. Once man was chased out, the pigs took over and became exactly like the man. Removing man from the scene did not abolish overwork and hunger forever. In fact, animals questioned whether or not they worked more and ate less than before the man were removed. This is due to the fact that when the pigs took over they were as bad if...

...Deficiencies (Issues arising from the dead pigs found floating in a Shanghai river) 【Abstract】 There is an old saying in Chinese culture that the appearance of a fat pig at the front door augurs abundance and good fortune. However, the sight of more than 16,000 pig carcasses floating on the Huangpu River portends something else entirely. As Huangpu River is a major source of drinking water for 23 million Shanghai residents, the incident caused mass panic, especially in Shanghai. The following report will firstly illustrate the specific background of the incident, followed by the analysis of the two major issues raised from the incident, which are China’s deadly water problem and corporate responsibility deficiencies. Finally, conclusions will be drawn, and recommendations will be provided to organisations in terms of the management of social responsibility. 【Background of the Issue】 The development of the incident follows the following timeline: * On 7th March 2013, a user on Weibo (known as Chinese Twitter) posted few photos showing that there were lots of dead pigs floating on the river near his home.

Shanghai Ministry of Environmental Protection promptly started to salvage pig carcasses, however, the number of dead pigs were far more than what had been expected. * By 11th March, the number of pig carcasses found increased rapidly, which...

...The story takes place on a farm somewhere in England. The story is told by an all-knowing narrator in the third person. The action of this novel starts when the oldest pig on the farm, Old Major, calls all animals to a secret meeting. He tells them about his dream of a revolution against the cruel Mr Jones. Three days later Major dies, but the speech gives the more intelligent animals a new outlook on life. The pigs, who are considered the most intelligent animals, instruct the other ones. During the period of preparation two pigs distinguish themselves, Napoleon and Snowball. Napoleon is big, and although he isn't a good speaker, he can assert himself. Snowball is a better speaker, he has a lot of ideas and he is very vivid. Together with another pig called Squealer, who is a very good speaker, they work out the theory of "Animalism". The rebellion starts some months later, when Mr Jones comes home drunk one night and forgets to feed the animals. They break out of the barns and run to the house, where the food is stored. When Mr Jones sees this he takes out his shotgun, but it is too late for him; all the animals fall over him and drive him off the farm. The animals destroy all whips, nose rings, reins, and all other instruments that have been used to suppress them. The same day the animals celebrate their victory with an extra ration of food. The pigs make up the seven commandments, and they write them above the door of the big barn. They run thus: 1. Whatever goes upon...
